you're now pretty much out of luck, unless it's older films (which I've invariably seen).
If you go through lists of "best foreign films" of the past five years, Netflix has ignored them, opting only to carry a few of the Oscar nominees.
After I exhausted the foreign offerings, I amused myself for some time w/noir films, but after the top 50 (Netflix has a surprisingly good collection of those), I had nothing.
Streaming indeed sucks, too, because it offers almost NO new films from other countries. It's really a for-tv service.
Vudu has some options, but who wants to pay 5 bucks to watch something once? I do, occasionally, but it's not a long term strategy. And… it doesn't have much in the foreign realm, either.
Many of these films are for sale. Perhaps some of us could start our own Netflix type of sharing club?
